Counting Down (And How You Can Win Some Cool Prizes!!)

Nope, not till Christmas! We are now only ONE HUNDRED DAYS until The Body Finder hits shelves, and guess what??? I’ve got a widget (check out my sidebar)!

Not only do I have a widget, but in honor of the big countdown, I’ve decided to hold my very first official contest!!!!

And there are prizes…look at all the pretty prizes…

Oooh…aahh…

That’s right, you too can have your very own signed copy of The Body Finder, along with this lovely limited edition tote bag, and an assortment of bookmarks and stickers. All that, and…a $25 gift certificate to the online bookseller of your choice! But it doesn’t end there, check out this sweet Body Finder poster (because you get that too!):

Second and third place winners will get all the swag (minus the ARC and the gift certificate)!!!I kid you not!

And it’s easy to enter. But there are many ways to earn bonus points, so check it out:

1) Earn one point just for being a follower and commenting in this post. Easy, right?!? (New followers welcome!!!!)

2) Earn one extra point for Re-Tweeting/Facebooking (or any other status updating) the contest (but, again, you have to let me know here, so I know to count your point!).

3) Earn one point for posting about the contest in your sidebar, and yet another for an entire post *about* the contest. That’s two extra points if you play your cards right! (And let me repeat…you must let me know that you’ve done these things, otherwise I won’t know to add your extra entries. That’s just how I roll.)

And that’s not all…because if you act now, there’s one more way to earn bonus entries!!! This is the exciting part! Can you *feel* the excitement???4) You can earn five extra points just for posting The Body Finder widget on your blog/website/My Space/Facebook/whatever! Five. Extra. Points!!! (And not to beat a dead horse, because I’d *never* do that…but please, for the love of everything that is good and holy, let me know so I can count those points too!) Note: Simply click the "share" button on the widget in my sidebar to copy the code...if you have trouble, email me and I'll send you the code!!!

It’s just that easy. Contest runs through December 25th, so get your entries together and spread the word. And the widget!

Oh, and leave me your email so I can get in touch if you win…that’s kind of important…

And get excited, people!

NOTE: I was just asked the question, so I thought I'd post my response here so everyone knows...Yes, international entries are welcome!

Hey Release Date Buddy, If your book is a 100 days away, that mean mine is too ! Thanks for the spreading the good news. Now I have to get a cool widget like you.. maybe I'll just use yours, being as our books are so similar and all.Lindsey
